My Mom keeps most of the family pictures, alot of old farming pictures fron the teen years up to the 50,s in a large wood trunk. Some moisture got in with the pictures and ruined over 1/2 of them. Probably from the washer and dryer being in the same room. Check your pictures folks they may not be as safe as you think.

Stan you did not say where you are located but there are companies around that specialize in picture restoration. Generally they retake a digital photograph by camera or scanner and are able to electronically clean it up, and then reprint a new copy. I assume most of your older photos are black and white so it might be easier or less expensive than color prints. Also check your local office supply chain like Staples or Kinkos. The copiers they have are state of the art and you might find a simple copy will make the photos look much better at a fraction of the cost. I saw some black and white copies recently and they looked pretty good. The woman having it done was also printing multiple copies on the same sheet to share with family members too and it was costing her around $1.25 per sheet. Since you have a computer, you may be able to do much of this yourself with a decent camera or a scanner and a good photo shop type program. Check you local library for books on the subject or a local technical college that may offer a class on the subject. A local photo shop could help you get started as well by offering advice or even classes. Good luck.

We run a small studio in Bowling Green, KY that does photo restorations if it may be of some help. I personally enjoy working on older photographs to restore them. If you are interested visit our website and we'll see if we can help.. You can contact me through the Request Information link.

I have gotten plastic storage boxes, the big RubberMaid kind from Home Depot and put all mine in them for that reason. Heat and humidity will ruin photos so don't store them in the attic either. I value mine a lot and would hate to loose them.
